Measurements of cerebral and cerebellar surfaces. Comparative studies of the surfaces of endocranial casts of man, prehistoric men, and anthropoid apes

Structural Asymmetries of the Human Brain and Their Disturbance in Schizophrenia

“…Although functional asymmetries—the simplest being handedness—have been known for millennia, it is only within the last 150 years that it has gradually become clear that there are also structural differences between the two sides of the brain. However, as recently as 1929, a comparative study of endocranial casts (endocasts) of modern and prehistoric man and of anthropoid apes found no marked cerebral asymmetries (Weil 1929). Until relatively recently, it was usually held that only humans exhibited structural asymmetries, but increasing evidence indicates that structural lateralization is common among such disparate nonhuman species as birds, monkeys, and apes (for a review, see Bradshaw 1991).…”
